ISLAMABAD : Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday has said that not one side of the two bound by Indus Water Treaty could unilaterally detach with the agreement and that Pakistan would continue to render complete support to Kashmiris victimized by Indian coercive instruments.
\nThe premier presided over a meeting in the federal capital today which was attended by the Chief of Army Staff, General Raheel Sharif among some of the other key representatives of different institutions concerned with defense and security affairs.
\nIn his address, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said that the government would never tolerate violence on Kashmiris and that both civil and military leaders were in agreement of pushing a befitting response against India in case of any aggression.
\nThe premier cleared that Pakistan considered regional peace before devising its policies and strategies which was why Indian government might be wrongly taking state\u2019s patience as a weakness. Participants of the meeting expressed satisfaction over Pakistan Army\u2019s capabilities to oust Indian strategies.
\nThe meeting observed that the World Bank was a guarantor in the Indus Water Treaty and hoped that the organisation would play its role to solve the issue after Indian premier, Narendra Modi was taking bullying to different fronts.
\nPrime Minister Nawaz Sharif\u2019s statement over Indian water-bullying has come in after Modi\u2019s meeting to review the pact sparked a debate highlighting possibility of cut to water supply to Pakistan as another desperate move to retaliate to Pakistan\u2019s equivocal stance over Kashmir in United Nations General Assembly this month.<\/p>\n
